Hi everyone,
I just wanted to say a quick hello and to introduce myself to everyone, as I have been reading a lot of the previous posts and feel a real kinship with everyone here. I am only in the second week of the program and feel so comforted reading the stories from you all...it is so nice to be in a place where people truly understand what you are going through. Although I am blessed with many supportive people in my life, there are only so many times you can tell someone you think your dying because of a arm cramp without them thinking your a little loonie :p I have been dealing with panic disorder for about 2 and a half years although initially had a real hard time having any doctor take me seriously! In the last few months I had been doing really well then I had a major relapse about a month ago and am struggling to get back to "normal". I am meds free so far and will be trying hypnosis in three weeks in hope of more progress. SO that's my little saga, I am really happy to be here and I just wanted to say thank you for everyone for being so open and honest about what they are going through...it has really helped me and I hope in the months to come I can be there for you too.
Best Wishes
Jen
